Obama running ads in swing states claiming that he supports the right to own a gun

This is truly unbelievable.

Gun control has suddenly emerged as the toxic issue of the 2008 presidential campaign, endangering Barack Obama's appeal among Democratic blue-collar and labor union households.

The freshman Illinois senator has a long record of favoring gun bans in Chicago and Washington, D.C., and a raft of other gun control bills that are anathema to gun owners, hunters and sportsmen alike.

He insists now he supports Second Amendment gun rights to keep and bear arms that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld when it struck down the D.C. gun ban in June. But he refused to join 77 of his colleagues who signed a friend of the court brief to end the weapons ban and remains sympathetic to a broad range of gun ban statutes.

Yet the Obama campaign has been running ads in key states with large populations of gun owners and hunters, insisting he supports the right to own a gun. He cannot run away from his record. . . .

Typical Nobama,
When his record doesn't match the voters he lies. Remember if you are not a Hollywierd snob then you are a bitter hick clinging to guns and religion. Well I'm bitter at two faced lying politicians. He makes me sick.

I just wish someone would ask him to say up front just WHICH firearms are OK for me to own !
Although he probably does not know one from another. And yeah, let's ask him and Joe how much their suits cost, too.
